Let’s Try this Again…

It’s Been Minute….

It has certainly been sometime since I have been on here, writing. I had almost forgotten that I still had this blog. Thankfully, though I was reminded that I still had this as I have been wanting to spend some time writing again. The busyness of life and work have kept me busy and distracted of late. Yet, I have been haunted by the thoughts of wanting to write again. I would put off the thoughts, but they kept popping up in my head to do so.

Rather than, runaway from them as I have been, I stopped running and turned around, embracing what I have been needing and wanting to do for sometime. So, here I am. I am hoping and praying that I can carve out the time to write and share some thoughts here and on Substack, where I have signed up to write as well.

I have so many words and thoughts trapped in my head and heart, that I really need to start writing them down. I have been keeping my thoughts and talents suppressed for some time, for years really. The last 5 years have been like a roller coaster ride, filled with peaks and valleys. I have felt like a ship in a storm with the waves beating against me.

I have been encouraged by my wife and friends to take up writing to share my thoughts, feelings and experiences. Most of the time, I would run away from doing that. I didn’t want but the more I kept things in, suppressed, the more depressed I would feel. Writing has always been my therapy, release. I have been greatly blessed by the Lord with a creative mind. I loved going to film school, learning poetry and the complexities of Shakespeare in my younger years.

As I get older now, I have realized that I do not want to waste my life. I mean, I have wasted a good amount in my younger years on such foolish things. Now, though, I want to make use of my time and energy on things that matter. I am taking to this blog and to Substack to do so. I am holding myself accountable and so are others close to me as I make this endeavor to write more and as a new year is close at hand, I figure and think that it be a good resolution to make as well.

So, with that said, it is good to be back and I look forward to the journey ahead.

Thank you for joining me on this journey.
